I am working in SQL Server 2008 R2 and Microsoft Visual Studio 2008. I have a view of a table that displays current work in house. The table is grouped by customer and then by Activity number. I am showing data with dates of each stage. In the original table the field is defined as Date. And when I query the database directly, the expected value is displayed. I have this dataset configured in visual studio that queries the view. When I execute the query inside of visual studio, I see the values in the fields I believe they should be. When I include them in the report, nothing shows up. I have tried to format the text box within the table to show a date, removed all formatting, formatting the field using the fx button. I can honestly say I am confused as to why I am having such a difficult time with this one.
Here is the report
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

OK I've come across something that baffles me.
I've downloaded SSDT for Visual Studio 2017, version 15.5.2
I'm creating new .rdls. I use Reports --> Add --> New Item for Reports.
Have my DataSource and Dataset created, no problem. i use an existing stored proc to retrieve, and it's no problem.
But i cant' figure out why there is no DETAIL band. I mean, any item that is retrieved, is First(columnname) for a string column, or Sum(columnname) for a numeric column, etc. Why on earth can i not just have a detail row, for all the columns i select? Not having a detail band really defeats the purpose of a report in the first place. I can have a page header/footer for summarizations and such.
So do i need to use the Report Wizard instead? The wizard does not seem to allow me to select a stored proc, so that seems useless to me as well.
Why is there no Detail band when i create a report? i thought that was standard when creating a new report, when i used SSRS in the past.
Presuming you have placed a tablix or a matrix on the design window, Right click on the tablix.. select Tablix Properties and then set the Data set Name to your actual dataset in that window. You should now be able to select the columns as required.
I have a report, that used to have columns in the following order [A,B,C,D,Banana,E]. I was then asked to make some changes to my report, which I did so that the report columns now has an order of [A,Rocket Ship,Banana,B,C,D,E].
When I look in Visual Studio or look at the report on SSRS, I see the correct order, HOWEVER, when I let the subscription run, I see that it is still putting out reports with the wrong columns. Has anyone else seen this phenomenon? I've tried creating a brand new subscription, but I still get the old Column order.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Check to see if the report using any caching or snapshots.
It might be using an old copy - though I would think it would be the same as one rendered manually from Report Server.
The issue is that the CSV report that is created isn't dependent on the report that is created with SSRS. Essentially, it just spits out the results of the SQL query into a CSV file.
In my ssrs report, I have an 'All' parameter which will show all of the offices associated with a division. SSRS is showing blanks for 2 months, but not the rest of the months. I am unable to have the groups not show the missing months or am I unable to show zero's in the data. Please Help.
Using VS 2013, SSRS
Can you attach your query here? I think you can control this issue through your sql query by using left join to a table containing all of months (maybe a temp table).
I have a bear of a problem here. The user wants a report that shows the earnings, deductions and liabilities (EDL) code of each employee or null/blank if an EDL code doesn't apply to that employee. I needed one row for each employee name and columns for each possible EDL code combination. I got that answer fixed from my previous question here:
Struggling with a dynamic pivot on multiple columns with one being concatenated
I ran into a problem where there are a potential 270 column headings (EDL code combination with "subj", "elig" or "amt" appended) but not every employee will have a value for every column and security settings lock me out of seeing 1 of the 3 payroll groups. This made my report very limited in that when I ran it I could only show on the Crystal Report the data for what columns I had at the time I created the Crystal Report. Well, the user who requested this report has access to payroll group 1 and if even one of those employees had an EDL code that I didn't have in my data when I created the Crystal Reports file then the report wasn't useful to the user. We figured a way for her to get the info she needed by her logging into SQL Server and executing the stored procedure and she did what she needed to do with the data.
Fast forwarding to today I have to create this as a report in SSRS or give detailed instructions on how she can do this in the future if need be since my contract is coming to an end. I'm not familiar with SSRS but I thought maybe that would meet her needs over Crystal Reports. However, I'm running into the same problem. When I add the stored procedure as a dataset (adding it in as text to execute, not clicking the stored procedure radio button) I only see the EDL codes from that particular query not all potential combinations. I need a way to maybe dynamically add columns to the SSRS report, does such a thing exist?
I have a situation in an SSRS Report wherein the report is not reflecting what is in the data.
The field in question is company-paid Long Term Disability. The value is calculated in a Stored Procedure as 0.0018 of a person's Gross Wages. The Stored Procedure is run by the report and it populates a table with the data the report will use. The report, then, does a straight "select" of values from that pre-populated table.
Let's use a concrete example:
Tom Thumb has a LTD value in the DataSet of 86.3077. I'm looking at
it as I type this, so I know that is the value in the source data.
Next, I run the query in SSRS Report Designer that populates my report's DataSet, and I see the same value of 86.3077 for the field LTDInsurance. That's the correct value. So far, so good.
In the Design View, I can drag the field [LTDInsurance] into the
textfield of the report, or I can use an expression. Neither approach works correctly.
=Fields!LTDInsurance.Value
Formatting on the field is #,##0
When I run the report, the value in that field shows 8,631 instead of 86 (Rounded 86.31). I have deleted and recreated the field. I've closed and reopened Visual Studio (VS 2010 can go wonky on you at times.). I've rebooted. I have tried a whole variety of Properties on that textfield.
Why is it showing this incorrect value?
Delete the data file (rdl.data) from the folder your rdl is in
